This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE25X10SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE25X10SB in place of this model. The ACE replacement is a current-production ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class, with a matching short body and the same mounting-accessory family, so it fits the same envelope. Confirm mounting-interface dimensions against the ACE datasheet before ordering.
Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X10SB

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X10SB
The ACP25X10SB is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 25 mm bore and a short 10 mm stroke, built on a hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome piston rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. This S-coded version carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the body for end-of-stroke detection. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 343.6 N and 288.6 N, with a theoretical maximum of 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this size was a favourite in tight jigs and guarding where every millimetre of length counts. In practice, plan for about 147 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa (roughly 0.6 of the rated push), which corresponds to lifting about 15 kg vertically - and halve that to around 7 kg if you want a 2:1 margin on a real part weight. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACE25X10, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE25X10SB (ISO 21287) carries the same bore/stroke/force class; confirm mounting-interface dimensions against the ACE datasheet before installation. Rod type: female thread (blank) or male thread (B). Thread options: PT (blank) / G.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø25mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 245 N | 206 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | 289 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 50 kgf | |
The ACE25X10SB produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X10SB Is Used
Small-parts ejector on assembly fixtures
The 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa and 10 mm stroke suit knocking a finished bushing or pin off a nest on an electronics assembly bench, with the -S magnet feeding a CMSE switch to confirm ejection each cycle.
Clamping bracket in a compact jig
With a body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, the 25 mm bore clamps light aluminium brackets inside crowded drilling jigs where a full-length body simply will not fit.
Position-verified sorting gate
On a packaging line sorting chute, the 10 mm stroke deflects small cartons while the fitted -S magnet drives a DMSE solid-state switch so the PLC verifies the gate reached position before releasing the next part.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X10SB with the ACE25X10SB
For a 10 mm stroke at this force level, the 25 mm bore is a sensible middle choice: a 20 mm bore delivers 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to 32 mm raises it to 402.1 N. Pick the smaller bore if your load is light and space is critical, the 32 mm if you need headroom. The B code gives a male rod thread (M6x1.0 female on the plain version), and the port is M5x0.8 because ports follow the bore. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings all suit this face. Since the ACP25X10SB is discontinued, order the ACE25X10 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE25X10SB
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force class
- ✓ Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S for magnet if you need sensors
Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X10SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N; at 0.7 MPa, 343.6 N push and 288.6 N pull; theoretical maximum 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is a double acting compact cylinder, 25 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, 10 mm rod, M5x0.8 port, male rod thread (B code), operating on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, -20 to +70 C, speed 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends.
Order the ACE25X10, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 25 mm bore, 10 mm stroke and force class in a matching short body. Because the ACP was DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions and your FA/FB, LB or CA/CB bracket fit before swapping. The ACE also accepts the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, matching what this S-coded model carries.
